The purpose of the Preliminary Exercise was to demonstrate continuity by filming and editing a character opening a door. We had to illustrate the shots and techniques that we had learnt in lesson time, such as the 180 degree rule and the shot reverse shot.
Our group came up with the idea for the script by simply listing all ideas and concepts that were suggested by my group. We decided to create a very straight forward dialogue of an eerie masculin voice calling out the characters name continously. We decided how we were going to structure our order of shots as well as where we were going to shoot and how. We allocated roles to everyone in out group so that everyone had a job to do.
I believe that our planning and storyboarding was not very organised as we did not fill our shot lists out in a correct fashion which meant when we came to post-production we were quite unorganised. I believe if we had created a clear shot schedule then our planning would have been more efficient and organised.
Below is our shot list:
Shot 1) Establishing shot of Omar opening the door and walking into the shot.(eye-level)
Shot 2) A Long shot of Omar walking towards the camera.(eye-level)
Shot 3) High angle long shot
Shot 4) Low angle establishing shot as Omar walks into the shot.
Shot 5) Mid shot of Omar attempting to open the door from outside the room.
Shot 6) Mid shot as the door opens from inside the room.
Shot 7) Close-up, Reaction shot of the expression on Omars face.
As our planning was not as efficient as we expected, we had some difficulties when shooting as we were unsure what order to shoot in which made it difficult to keep a clean and organised shoot. This delayed our shoot for 15 minutes, other than that the shoot was quite efficient.
